Is the conventional chronology of human migration little more than a house of cards? Maybe. And there’s a strong wind (or at least a tantalizing breeze) blowing in from southern California, where researchers say they have evidence that the First Americans may have arrived on the continent almost ten times earlier than we thought. And here’s another kicker: the first humans in the Americas may not have been Homo sapiens.
The results, published today in Nature, came out of several different lines of inquiry, all leading to the same stunning conclusion: A partial mastodon skeleton unearthed near San Diego appears to have been processed by some kind of hominin about 130,000 years ago.
To put this in context, right now the generally accepted arrival date for humans in the Americas — from Siberia, via the land bridge Beringia — is a mere 15,000 years ago. There have been a handful of sites from Brazil and Chile to the Great Plains of the U.S. suggesting human activity up to 40,000 years ago, but academic opinion on the legitimacy of those sites is deeply divided.

Brah, advanced civilization existed and collapsed here before the current "world history" you've been told/taught.

I don't doubt it at all. The 12 to 15 thousand year story has never added up.

How many times have we been nearly wiped out by space impacts? It could happen again.

actually the 40 thousand years theory is pretty well supported, not divided as this article claims. still crazy to think almost 100,000 years earlier there were people in north america, but not honestly that surprising to me.

So who did the indians bludgeon to death in order to take their land? That's what we're talking about, right?

Did all of these people go to hell since they aren't really mentioned in the bible or did they get a pass?

The day Columbus got to North America was a great day for this hemisphere. The beginning of the end of primitivism.

Were Adam and Eve in on this?
I always thought those names sounded more American than Middle Eastern.
